Join us to take on the highest mountain of Wales!

Reaching the top is a moment to savour, with panoramic views providing the perfect reward for your efforts before you begin your descent.

Who will you climb Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa for?
With other climbers taking part for Sands many will be walking in memory of their precious baby. By taking part you can walk alone reflecting on your own memories and you can also have the chance to share memories with your friends, family and new friends too. It is such a beautiful hike to be a part of and all funds raised will help us save babies' lives and help anyone affected by the death of a baby.
The best thing about taking part in Snowdon by night was the atmosphere. We may be united by grief but we smashed it and the support to each other was, and still is, incredible.
